GEORGiA's BOOM.
Rome Beginning TO Rival Birming-
ham in Its Enterprise.


ATLANTA, GA. March 19.-The move
ment of Northern capital which has been
80 largely directed toward the
South seems now to be turned
toward Georgia where the &C.
tiyity in business and real estate
has assumed large proportions. AS an
indication OF this may be mentioned
Northwest Georgia, OF which Rome
Is the centre. In all tnat
section there has been great
revival of business, and the rise in real
estate has been remarkable. Prospec-
tors are out in all the hills where red and
brown iron ore, managese, marble aud
coal abound. The business men OF Rome
nave associated under the presidency OF
w. Z. Simpson for the development OF the
resources OF that section. One hundred
men were put to work yesterday clearing
land upon which TO erect contemplated
enterprise, for which money is now In
hand.
A BIG PREMIUM OFFERED.
A premium OF so per cent. was to-day
offered for the original shares OF the com
pany. These enterprises are OF public
instead OF q private character, the cltl-
zens feeling that aid should be given to
reliable investors who mean genuine I'M
provement. Their object 10 to contribute
TO such enterprises as evidence OF their
faith in the country. Twenty-Five thou
sand dollars will be donated, tor instance,
to any hotel man who will erect suit
able building for that purpose. The lands
around Floyd county, which hitherto
Jagged for $50 an acre, are now held
firm at 81, 900. Rome is in the centre OF
a mineral region, with 800 miles OF river
navigation. Rome is also the geograph!
cal centre OF the last Tennessee system,
besides other railroad outlets. These ad'
yantages seem to have attracted the
special attention of Northern investors.
Besides, Dalton, Gainesville, Thomas
vile. Griffin, Americas, and, in fact, all
the considerable trade centres of the
state are experiencing general buoy
ancy. The larger cities, OF course, are
fully alive.
SUPREME COURT DECISIONS.
In the Supreme Court this morning de-
cisiOns were rendered as follows:
In the case of Mrs. Mary Z. Hull vs.. the
Alabama Gold Life Insurance Company,
The judgment of the City Court OF Savan-
nah, granting q new trial, was reversed
and the verdict of the jury, finding for the
plaintiff the full face Of the policy sued
Tor [$5,000) with % per cent. damages,
$3.50 attorneys fee, 8 per cent. interest
and costs, was directed to stand.
Smith Adner VS.. Collier. Reversed.
In the case of w. G. Wright. the Mon
roe convict applying for pardon on &C
count Of ill health, the Governor referred
The case to the principal physician, who

BLAZING PRAIRIES,
GALVESTON, March IA dispatch
from Bandera reports one of the most eX-
tensive prairie fires raging in that coun-
try that has occurred for years. The fire
started IN a large cedar brake and eX-
tended over a wide area, causing great
desolatlon. 1t has now been raging four
days and has approached within a few
miles OF Bandera, all efforts to stop 1t
having proved futile. Thousands of dol
lars worth of valuable property has al
ready been destroyed and as much more
is in great jeopardy. 1t is thought 1t will
be impossible to stop 1t until 1t reaches

bury, a passenger on the train. testified
that be was In the first car, three seats
from the rear. just as the car got to the
Boston end of the bridge it bumped as a
horse car will when off the track. The
shock was violent enough to throw the
witness off OF his seat and the car went
on humping till it stopped. The witness
noticed no snap before the humping be-
gan and noticed no more than the usual
swaying of cars around curves. He had
no more anxiety than usual that morning,
for 1--WE all expected to 20 down with
that bridge sometime"
Commissioner Crocker-What did your
anxiety arise fromg
Witness-ETom the looks OF the bridge.
1t looked unsafe, and we thought il would
go sometime.
MAKEUP OF THE TRAIN.
The witness tried to tell the order OF
the cars, but could not recollect the num-
bers, He was sure, however, that it was
the fourth car that was broken up be-
meath the others, and he thought no one
got out of it alive. He knew no more
until about an hour after the accident.
The stove doors were all locked, but some
Goals got out of the broken bottom and set
fire to some upholstery. The Jrain was
running at about its usual speed, twelve
or fifteen miles per hour. Some five or
six years ago he stood on the centre of
this bridge when a train went over. He
never tired it again because the bridge
swayed and Jared SO. He thought the
bridge unsafe from the lightness OF its
construction, "for 1t seemed only a mass
of threads" The hearing was then ad-

here this morning. The damage to tender

be very general. Truck gardeners about
the city say beans, peas, snap beans,
cucumbers, tomatoes, potatoes, etc., were
severely bitten, and IN most places killed
outright, and will have TO be planted over
again. Reports from the northern coun.
ties say the frost was general. The Len-
der tips Of orange trees in the orange belt
are probably killed, but no serious dam
age was done to young fruit or the germ
of the b ossom. 1t is not believed that
pears or peaches were damaged materi-
ally, although the reports from the Sec
